Original Note:
During Talbot's career his taxes and NI contributions paid for the pensions of people who were retired at the time, not his own pension, since the UK state pension is a "pay-as-you-go" system. NI contributions entitle you to receive your pension but don't pay for it. https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/statepensionfunds https://ifs.org.uk/sites/default/files/output_url_files/fp184.pdf
